President Biden's new plan to regulate AI

By Shakir Bukhari


President Biden has signed an executive order on artificial intelligence (AI) that aims to establish oversight of the rapidly evolving sector. The order sets new standards for safety tests for AI products, as well as a system for federal tests of major systems.



The order also requires companies to share test results for major AI systems with the government before releasing them. This power comes from the Defense Production Act, a Korean War-era law that expands presidential authority, especially when it comes to national security issues.
The White House sees the opportunities in AI but also warns of the risks. For example, AI can be used to develop new drugs and cures for cancer, but it can also be used to scam seniors or discriminate against people of color.
The new order asks agencies to look into setting up standards for how departments can implement AI in positive ways but also calls on departments to set standards for making sure AI isn't exacerbating discriminatory practices in housing or loan approval.
The order also calls for the streamlining of visa processes so that immigrants who are skilled in AI can come to the U.S. to study and work on AI development.

    The executive order is a significant development in the regulation of AI. While it is not clear how effective the order will be, it does send a strong signal that the Biden administration is taking the issue of AI regulation seriously.
    The order is likely to have a number of implications for the tech industry. For example, companies will need to comply with the new testing requirements for major AI systems. They may also need to make changes to their hiring practices to ensure that they are not using AI in a discriminatory way.
    The order is also likely to have implications for the US government. The government will need to develop new expertise in AI in order to test and oversee AI systems. The government will also need to work with other countries to develop international standards for AI regulation.
    President Biden's new executive order on AI is a significant development. It is still too early to say how effective the order will be, but it does send a strong signal that the Biden administration is taking the issue of AI regulation seriously. The order is likely to have a number of implications for the tech industry and the US government.

ChatGPT’s New Unified View: Voice, Live Transcripts & Maps — Speak, See, and Scan in One Chat

  OpenAI has reshaped how we talk to AI: ChatGPT now blends voice, live transcripts, and visual outputs (like maps and images) directly inside the regular chat window. That means you can speak naturally, watch a running transcript appear, and see interactive visuals, all inside the same conversation thread. This update cuts friction, boosts accessibility, and moves ChatGPT closer to a true multimodal assistant. Why this matters This change removes the old “voice-only” silo where audio lived on a separate screen. Now, voice input and audio responses live alongside the chat history and any visuals the model produces, so follow-ups, maps, and previous context are always visible while you talk. For practical tasks (directions, travel planning, hands-free research), that continuity is a big usability win. Compatibility & availability Platforms: The integrated voice experience is rolling out across mobile (iOS and Android) and the web. Rollout timing: The update began rolling out in ...
